You do not have to respect all beliefs, but do have to respect all people. No personal attacks, including ad hominem arguments. Argue the argument, not the person. Source any claims that you make. Sometimes not necessary (eg. claiming that Christians believe in Jesus), but for anything significant provide a citation before you post, make sure that whatever you're saying adds to discussion in a meaningful way. Always be mature, sensitive, and thoughtful.

Posting Regulations ("Pilate" Program):

Occasionally participants may want to narrow the answer pool to only a specific set of users. In these cases the user can tag the post [Christians] and only top level comments from Christians are allowed. All other top level replies will be removed. A person could specify [YEC] and ONLY YEC should reply as a top level comment to the post.

This is a preliminary program to allow for more finely tuned debates. If it is successful, we may choose to automate this process. If we do automate it we may have to limit flair choices.

Custom Flair

If you do not see the flair you would like to have listed in the stock flair options, you can request custom flair by messaging the mods, and it will be assigned to you. The following are the criteria for custom flair requests:

Limited to two classifications e.g. [Baptist, Ex-Catholic]

Must be relevant to religious discussion i.e. signify religious/spiritual belief or lack thereof.

God didn't create the world as we see it today. He let Adam end Eve live in the garden of eden unroll they goofed and got kicked out into this world, where the suffering exists. We as people would not exists at all because Eve wasn't able to have children before the fall. But the free will allowed her to act against Gods wishes.

He created Adam and Eve knowing they would fail the test, if an engineer creates a car he knows is going to explode we blame him for it.

Same goes for Adam and Eve, also read more of my points, he didn't have to allow violence to be possible, he choose to create the laws of physics and biology in such a way that it is possible, but it doesn't have to be.

Wrong. He created them with free will. So they COULD fail. Ever hear the saying, "The journey is more important than the destination"? Knowing everything that ever was and ever will be means that you know every possibility. Not which possibility will be chosen.
